Do these rust? Thanks M

These staples rust but they will hold the fabric in place for 10 years or longer before they break. I have also used staples from A.M. Leonard for about the same price and they were painted black which would delay the rust even longer.

Yes these do rust after years in the ground because they are made from very heavy duty strong steel. However, they are the very best on the market. They are the strongest and 6 inches long enough to hold drip irrigation piping and landscape fabric in place after years of installation. After trying many other alternatives these are the only ones I use in my 39 year landscape business.

Yes they do rust. Pulled some up from last year and they were rusty. I don't think you can find any that don't rust.

I think any of them will eventually rust, at least the ones I have used. These ones I just installed about a month ago and so far so good. I think the stuff that is on them that makes your hand turn a little black is also a protectant because it felt kind of oily. They do seem a little stronger than the ones that I previousle bought at lowes

Yes they do but in the 500 staple quantity the price is right. Use these where you are not going to remove the landscape cloth. Plastic ones are available (more expensive) where you are going to frequently remove the landscape cloth.

I hope not. I'm still working to get all my weeding done so I can put the ground cloth down. I will post something once the wet weather gets here so I know.

Yes. But you can go on using them when rusty (but wear gloves to handle them.)

Yes and unlike steel they don't rust. Unlike aluminum they don't turn grey/ Black with ammonia based detergents

They are stainless steel, so no they will not rust. They are made in China.

I put mine in the dishwasher all the time and they do not rust. I hope this helps answer your question.

No rusting so far though I've only had them a few weeks. They have been use several times and run through the dish washer and still look good.

YES! They were fine at first, but it's been 9 months and they're rusted. Looking for a new set now, and won't be buying these again.

Yes they will rust.. But they still work great even being rusted. If you could put some type of spray on it that didn't have a odor that would help prevent the rust.

They are not stainless steel but if you are concerned about rust mine is sitting in a sunroom that has a large spa. The humidity is high (70%+) and after 6 months I have seen no corrosion or rust.

I have had these for a month or so and have had no rust problem. I do have a Bronze rod too though.

I've had mine for a few months and they haven't rusted at all. I don't put them in the dishwasher or leave them in water, though.
